Probably not going to get that without going into the desert past Bend. I have a place in the Coast range that gives 750 but it's a downward slant angle across a valley and a 20 minute round trip up a different logging round to set up the target.

The landing strip, I have yet to make it my self but there is apparently an abandoned landing strip out past the incestacada pit, you can see it on google earth and find your way in.

IIRC this is the one that is up by Lost Lake,and if so good luck getting up there. Tank traps,boulders and anything else they could do to keep folks out has been done.
Also,if you get caught off the gravel road that leads to the trail,be prepared to pay a healthy fine and depending on the deputies disposition that day the possibility of getting your rig towed.. Years ago we would go up there to fly fish during the 2 months out of the year you could access it,there is also a backway in from there to get to Timothy Lake. RK |

In google earth try
45° 8'54.88"N 122° 8'52.48"W Looks like a runway in the woods, and it looks like you can get to it from Fish Creek Rd, maybe. |

Last I heard the Landing Strip is temporarily closed by the USFS for some repairs out there or something like that? Not shutdown forever, but while they have people out there they don't want guns going off... |

The trouble with trying ot get that kind of range around estacada is that you will likely have to shoot across a canyon. Not really the best idea if you are serious about hitting what your aiming at. Havent been up to the airfield since I was a kid so I cant comment on that. You may just have to drive around and look for a logged off area that will do. I know up in Hood River there are a few places along the power lines and a logged off areas you can get some range. That said you have to be careful of people just driving up into your impact area. Had that happen before.
Good luck and if you find anyplace, please pass it along. There are a few guys in here that would love a long range place to shoot close in. |
